Eight-Year-Old Nepal Boy Survives Floods, Reunited with Mother After Rescue
An 8-year-old Nepalese boy, Zoyal Ghale, survived devastating floods by climbing trees in a forest after a glacier collapse triggered landslides in Rasuwa district. He was airlifted to a hospital with injuries and reunited with his mother, Matti Maya Tamang, who had feared both her sons were lost after their school was destroyed. UNICEF reported that at least 17,000 children were affected, and efforts are underway to identify and reunite separated families amid over 580 confirmed deaths and thousands missing.
